More than one million households across Louisiana and Mississippi are left without electricity after a hurricane called Ida hit the region.
President Joe Biden held virtual meetings with designated state governors and mayors of major cities hit hardest by the storm. The presidential administration also reports that more than 3,600 FEMA staff have been deployed to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Residents of the disaster zone are provided with food and drinking water. Even before the hurricane, hundreds of generators were dispatched.
Ida is described as one of the most powerful hurricanes that raged in the United States in the history of meteorological observations. Now the element continues to weaken.
